Yeah, I just spent a ton of time going through that site. Very cool.

That's a great site. I especially love the couple in the last set on the Smiling Victorians page. They start off typically sombre and then get all goofy. It's really endearing.

Those photos from Kutno are just unbelievably. I mean, just seeing the people in colour is amazing. Sometimes in black-and-white you tend to lose that sense of humanity in pictures, you know? But seeing them in colour just makes you think how much the people resemble people you know. It's so striking.

I have been reading Life! Death! Top Tips! for the last hour and alternately crying with laughter and boggling at the kind of people who look at a packet of sanitary towels and think "Wow, these would make a great pair of slippers!".

I got to the "add viagra to perk up your wilting flowers" tip before I made a too-loud snorting noise in my workplace.

This tickles me to no end. An Olive Garden comes to Grand Forks, ND, and a nice little old lady reporter reviews it.

It works well if you read it to yourself in a Mr. Rogers voice.

According to the companion link on boingboing, it's actually a negative review! And apparently the way you know this is because she spends more time discussing the decor than the food.

Hee. I live in Grand Forks, and it's the highlight of Wednesdays at work where we find out what Marilyn is reviewing this week. And mock her descriptions of the decor. I think my favorite when she reviewed two different Subway locations in a couple months time. I'm off of work today and tomorrow, but I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's reaction to Marilyn going viral.

Instant Monkeys Fri Mar 09, 2012 2:08 am

There was already a follow-up article!

I seriously love this lady. That is excellent that she reviewed two Subways. And I love how at the end of this review she gave a little background on the history of The Olive Garden. She is doing it up PROPERLY, damn it.

She's eaten at the White House! Twice!

Orphan baby owls that live in some dude's apartment. I apologize for the loudness of my squeeing.

Oh my gosh, that is INSANELY adorable. Picture 5 (them standing on his knees while he reads) is my favorite.

Also, he owns the DVD of Role Models, so I like him.

Yeah, but he also owns the DVD of 2012, so it's a wash to me.

But why does he have two copies of Hitch?

Those photos, especially the one with the greyhound, look awfully Photoshopped to me. Perhaps I'm just terminally cynical.

The pictures of Tiny Prince on a tiny motorcycle made me laugh till I choked.
